Let's Go Camping!

I have been a camper since I was two weeks old, and it's been a hobby in my family since my parents married.  My mom's dad actually built his family a pop-up camper!  Ben and I began camping together the first autumn we began dating, and it's been a really important part of our life together!  I mean, we got engaged while on a camping trip...  And we remained engaged while the raccoons were circling our campsite when we were cooking dinner!

Anyway, this year in early-May is my Fourth Annual Birthday Camping Trip, and I'm so excited to be planning it!  The first year I camped alone, the second with Ben, and the third with my mom.  This year I'm inviting lots of friends since I feel like I'm entering the last year of my "mid"-twenties (it may actually be my late-twenties though :)

So I'm reminiscing about our last camping trip!  Ben and I with our friends Kevin and Erin camped at Kohler-Andrae in early October and had a really great time.  My dad stopped by for dinner, and we enjoyed lots (and lots and lots) of cheap red wine!
